I am looking for ideas on how to construct a class that generalizes the interface Matlab uses for creating and manipulating complex variables. The general idea is that one could construct a "pets" object by simplying typing:
mypets = 2dogs + 3cats
which would create an object of the pets class.
I can think of a few clunky ways to do this, such as having the constructor parse a string like this:
mypets = pets(‘2dogs + 3cats’).
Another slightly nicer way would be to leave out the parenthesis like this:
pets 2dogs + 3cats
but this still requires an explicit constructor reference. Any ideas anyone?I am looking for ideas on how to construct a class that generalizes the interface Matlab uses for creating and manipulating complex variables.
